Speechless: John McCain's New t.v. Ad, "Complete the Danged Fence"

by the Left Coast Rebel

Flabbergasted. Speechless. Face-palm-cringing. I'm not sure that I have ever seen such a display of naked hypocrisy and ludicrous pandering this side of the radical left (Obamanation) attempting a general election.

Complete the Danged Fence:


Allahpundit chuckles:

Consider this a preview of the 2014 “Re-elect Lindsey Graham” ad campaign, featuring Grahamnesty piloting a Border Patrol chopper and lending a hand on an oil rig.
Also via. HotAir, rewind just a few years ago, the danged fence was the 'godamned fence':
A day earlier, in Milwaukee, in front of an audience of more sympathetic businessmen, McCain had been asked how debate over the immigration bill was playing politically. “In the short term, it probably galvanizes our base,” he said. “In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics, you’ll pay a heavy price.” Then he added, unable to help himself, “By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it.”


This man deserved to lose, and lose big, in 2008. He deserves to lose even bigger in a few months. No, I take that back. He deserves to lose the AZ nominating convention vote and spare us the agony.

The Other McCain thinks that John McCain is simply a crapweasel. I think that's saying it nicely.

Via Memeorandum.

    John McCain is a real piece of work. Sad to see a man who was once {long ago} deserving of respect slip so far...

    A number of years ago I sent a letter to McCain telling him that I would never vote for him and that I would do everything I could to get him out of office. Not that he cares, of course, but I felt that integrity dictated that I make my stance clear.

    The last time he was up for re-election, I wrote in my own name. I don't know that I would make a very effective senator, but at least I believe in the Founding Principles of our nation. That alone puts a knucklehead like me miles ahead of McCain.

    Bastiatarian - McCain ought to do this nation a favor... Gracefully RETIRE.

    Since he won't perhaps the voters of Arizona will retire him through the ballot box.

When and How Will it End?

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required,  you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...

One of America's Greatest Pastimes, Early Polling...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny American's are an interesting bunch. Stubborn and fickle at the same time. Especially Republicans. But then again I question just why in the hell anyone is concerning themselves with the 2016 presidential race two years out? I guess it's because we're... Americans? Public Policy Polling - PPP's newest look at the Republican field for 2016 finds some big changes from our previous polling. Marco Rubio, who had led all of our polling since December, has dropped all the way to 6th place. Rand Paul now has the lead nationally, to go along with the leads he posted in our most recent Iowa and New Hampshire polls. And Ted Cruz has already hit double digits. The numbers are: Paul 16, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Paul Ryan each at 13, Cruz at 12, Rubio at 10, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal at 4, and Susana Martinez at 2. Cruz has proven to be such a darling to the far right that he actually already lead...
